Ryan Mackenzie parrots the GOP line that the ACA is “broken” and “full of fraud” — the script they use to attack every program. But with 20,000 people in his district facing big premium hikes, he suddenly wants a quick patch. If fixing it were the goal, they’d push reforms, not cuts. https://apnews.com/article/health-care-tax-credits-congress-trump-swing-districts-e030d7a0dd61ca8815fe4722ddbe94b7?fbclid=IwY2xjawOkLvlleHRuA2FlbQIxMQBzcnRjBmFwcF9pZBAyMjIwMzkxNzg4MjAwODkyAAEeRe8gkbBuZ3KvRZ_URsIxFEgzoK9iRX4NPHFqbFAqSxKLu_sOuErVARCM8IQ_aem_9eqJQ7-Qu94O6lxigmwzhw#08 Dec 2025 23:38 +0000at://did:plc:uot76fykvjw3bcto7x5p5cmp/app.bsky.feed.post/3m7j7abmwrs2nhttps://bsky.app/profile/upperlehighdemclub.bsky.social/post/3m7e6s32yvk2wTrump & Hegseth’s “kill everybody” campaign crosses a line: no-quarter orders and strikes on survivors are blatant war crimes.
